Time to shine – how to develop a successful Consulting career after the Big4

For Business Consultants with 2-4 years’ experience it’s now the best time for a new job. Well-known, established, highly differentiated brands are looking for talents and offer more flexibility, transparent management, and attractive salary packages and benefits.

Operational Excellence, Digital Transformation, Blockchain, Regulatory, Regtech, Big Data & Data Science, become more important to businesses located in Switzerland; and there is a high demand for qualified professionals.

Firms are looking for candidates who have a mixed technical and business background. “We see that professionals with an Engineering degree combined with a Business Consulting professional background are highly sought-after by top employers”, says Jordan Cajot, Professional Services & Consulting Lead at Robert Walters Switzerland.

The perfect mix

We especially see great career opportunities for professionals who know technical details and who also understand the larger business impact and industry-specific processes. “Our clients are looking for more and more versatile candidates that are able to adapt to the faster pace of the market and new technologies.”, says Jordan Cajot.

Business Processes and Information Technology Systems are continuously changing to align and serve common objectives; all the more so with disruptive technologies which can have a tremendous impact. Companies are looking for professionals who can add value through the entire project life cycle, being able to understand the client needs and guide them, design the right solution, deliver and implement it.

Given this, it is important for applicants to have a positive track record delivering projects coming either from consulting firms or gained in-house working on projects.
